Who Should I Start? Adonai Mitchell or Jayden Higgins

Saturday, November 22, 11:06 AM

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will get another opportunity to garner an increased piece of his team's passing pie in Week 12's road outing with the Baltimore Ravens. Mitchell made his Jets' debut in last Thursday's loss to the Patriots. Despite commanding the most targets on New York's roster (six), he came away with just one catch and ten yards. Not all of that was the ex-Indianapolis Colt's fault, but he didn't help his case with a few brutal drops. With teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) out for the foreseeable future, it's the least tenured Jets' pass-catchers, Mitchell and John Metchie III, with the highest probability of emerging from the pack in his absence. For what it's worth, the latter played on more snaps in Week 11, though it's possible that fluctuates as they spend more time with the organization. Maybe Mitchell sports modest production down the stretch, but fantasy managers can avoid him outside of DFS formats for at least another week. The 23-year-old ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR72 for Sunday's contest with the hosting Ravens.

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins caught four of his nine targets for 38 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 12 win over the Buffalo Bills. The rookie led the team in targets and had more catches than Nico Collins, contributing to the Texans' third straight victory under backup quarterback Davis Mills. Higgins has looked solid with Mills under center, catching 13 of 23 targets for 135 yards and two touchdowns during that three-week span. He, Collins, and Christian Kirk have all carved out fantasy-relevant roles lately, but it remains to be seen whether the distribution of targets will look any different when C.J. Stroud (concussion) returns to action next week. Higgins' streak of strong performances should keep him in the high-end WR3/flex tier for Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts.
